DRIVEWAY SEAL COATING: Where is the Public Outrage?

Seal Coating truck recently vandalized by activists.

The following article was submitted by nationally acclaimed folksinger and animal rights activist Joany Seng-Lowe. Joany was recently in Wapatusset to attend an emergency board meeting of the Greyote Rescue & Outreach League (GROL) and to attend her brother’s bail hearing.

Dear Tiny Mind Gazette:You only need to drive a couple blocks in Wapatusset before stumbling upon a suburban residence with a cordoned off asphalt driveway – blackened to a sheen that can only be achieved by one method, and one method alone.

DRIVEWAY SEAL COATING!

Adorable baby seal escapes poachers.

I ask you, the general public, where is the outrage? How many more seal lions have to die before this barbaric ritual is brought to an end?

Admittedly, I spend the majority of my life in either my minuscule Greenwich Village apartment or some seedy coffee house – darkened by the smoke of countless clove cigarettes, deep in the urban asphalt jungle – to me, the suburban landscape is as foreign as the surface of the moon.

However, my well-honed artistic sensibilities to both right and wrong, have directed me to take up a new cause – to BAN SEAL COATING!

I urge you, as responsible citizens of the planet, to stand-up an let your voices be heard! Please join me in putting an end to this horrible atrocity – happening in your own driveway!

Gypsy Mouths (from upcoming album: Seng-Lowe: Suite Chariot)

Editor’s Note:Joany and her band, ‘The Gypsy Mouths’ will be performing a FREE benefit concert this summer at the Speedwell Guild Lodge. Additional information will soon be released as soon as it becomes available. Seng-Lowe’s new album, ‘Suite Chariot’ is scheduled for a July release date.
